Do- Remove ice cream from the freezer 10-20 minutes before serving.
Don't- Store bananas in your fridge compartment.
Don't- Store melon in your fridge. It can be chilled for short periods as long as it is wrapped to
prevent it flavouring other food.
Don't- Cover the shelves with any protective materials which may obstruct air circulation.
Don't- Store poisonous or any dangerous substances in your appliance. It has been designed for
the storage of edible foodstuffs only.
Don't- Consume food which has been stored for an excessive length of time.
Don't- Store cooked and fresh food together in the same container. They should be packaged
and stored separately.
Don't- Let defrosting food or food juices drip onto food.
Don't- Leave the door open for long periods, as this will make the appliance more costly to run
and cause excessive ice formation.
Don't- Use sharp edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the ice.
Don't- Put hot food into the appliance. Let it cool down first.
Don't- Put liquid-filled bottles or sealed cans containing carbonated liquids into the freezer, as
they may burst.
Don't- Exceed the maximum freezing loads (in any 24 hours) when freezing fresh food.
Don't- Give children ice-cream and water ices direct from the freezer. The low temperature may
cause 'freezer burns' on lips.
Don't- Freeze fizzy drinks.
Don't- Try to keep frozen food which has thawed; it should be eaten within 24 hours or cooked
and refrozen.
Don't- Remove items from the freezer with wet hands.
Don't- Close the freezer door before placing the compartment cover in its place.
Don't- Leave frozen food at room temperature to thaw; the best way to defrost food is to put it in
the fridge to thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid defrosting food or food juices drip onto
other food.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
1- Ensure your appliance is installed in a well ventilated area. If the ambient temperature is low
(but in no case lower than 10 degrees C), then the energy saving will be more. In this case,
check temperatures of fridge and freezer compartments with an accurate thermometer and
lower the thermostat setting (towards 1) if necessary.
2- Ensure the time between buying chilled/frozen food and placing them in your appliance is kept
at minimum, particularly in summer. We recommend you use a cool bag or a special carrier bag
to carry frozen food.
3- Do not leave the door (s) of your appliance open longer than necessary and ensure they are
closed properly after each opening.
4- Defrost frozen food in the fridge compartment, so that frozen food acts as an ice pack to assist
cooling in the fridge.
PROBLEM SOLVING
If the appliance does not operate when switched on, check whether:
• The plug is inserted properly in the socket and that the power supply is on. (To check the power
supply to the socket, plug in another appliance).
• The fuse has blown/circuit breaker has tripped/main distribution switch has been turned off.
• The temperature control has been set correctly.
• New plug is wired correctly if you have changed the fitted moulded plug.
If the appliance is still not operating after the above checks, please refer to the section on "How To
Obtain Service".
Please ensure that above checks have been made as a charge will be made if no fault is found.
